Firmware Problems w/ Satellites

I updated the firmware on my router before I installed my satelite firmware update.  It will not upadte the satelite through software or by doing it outside software. When I go to software update I get an error message "failed to get firmware version" and it stops at that point.

 

Could I just factory reset both router and satelite and start over or is there a better way?

  • That .img file looks correct.

    Did you unzip the file that you downloaded or are you trying to load it from within the zipped file?

      It says I am not connected to the internet.  I am hard wired from router to computer. I can get on the internet anytime I want to setup as it is now.  I am lost.

      DO

      After going thru the manual install, it tells me the firmware version I am trying to install is incorrect, please load correct file and try again.  RBS50-V2.1..img is the file populated in the correct box.
